Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

"Bahai forged the imperial edict, deceived the people, and privately increased taxes. His crimes are unforgivable. I will expose his evil deeds to the emperor and seek justice for you!" She said firmly: "As for the gold and silver treasures here, take them back according to the proportion you paid. Even if Qianguo is in trouble, it will not let the people suffer."

"The princess is wise!" The people who had been hostile to her before burst into tears of gratitude after learning the truth.

"Hurry up and take your things and leave here." Jiang Xue urged softly.

At this moment, arrows suddenly rained down from outside the cave, carrying burning kerosene!

"Don't go out." She shouted urgently, but two people were unfortunately hit and turned into ashes in an instant.

Witnessing the tragic scene, the people were terrified and quickly retreated back into the cave.

"It seems that the Bahai family is desperate." Jiang Xue looked up at the top of the mountain, only to see Bahai's men looking down at them triumphantly.

"Princess Changle, you shouldn't have seen all this." An official sneered, "This money belongs to Lord Ba. You are honored to have the opportunity to pay tribute. You dare to use Lord Ba's property. Today I will teach you a lesson."

"How arrogant! Have you forgotten that our Qian royal family is still here?" Jiang Xue responded with a sneer, and at the same time quietly signaled the people behind her to retreat further.

"Haha, your death is imminent." The man laughed loudly, "I will get rid of you today! When Lord Ba's army grows stronger, Jiang Chen will not be able to escape!"

Jiang Xue's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty: "Bahai actually has an army?"

Privately making weapons is already a serious crime. If Bahai really formed an army, it would be treason.

"That's right. Lord Ba's army possesses the most advanced gunpowder weapons in the world, which even the Tieyun Army cannot catch up with." Thinking that he would be able to kill Jiang Xue today, the man told all the secrets without hesitation.

"Lord Ba has long been in collusion with Beixi. Not long ago, the crown prince of Beixi sent a batch of new weapons. Yingxia, Xiyong and other places have also come to support. Overthrowing Jiang Chen is just around the corner."

Jiang Xue's eyes became increasingly gloomy, the corners of her mouth tightened into a line, her gaze swept towards another hilltop, and when she saw Xiao Zhan, she nodded slightly.

"Do it."

Xiao Zhan stood on the top of the mountain, waved his hand, and gave orders in a low voice.

"Come on." Bahai's men shouted sternly, pointing at Jiang Xue and ordering him to attack.

But before they could act, a rain of arrows came from the flank, taking their lives in an instant!

Screams echoed through the mountains, and the archers who threatened Jiang Xue fell one by one.

"What's going on?" Bahai's men were terrified and tripped over stones as they retreated in a hurry.

A sharp arrow passed between his legs, missing his vitals by just a few inches. In fear, he felt a warm sensation soaking his pants, and his legs trembled.

“Yun Che, don’t shoot them all. Leave a few alive to serve as witnesses.” Jiang Xue said to Xiao Zhan with a contemptuous smile.

Xiao Zhan nodded and smiled, adjusted the direction, and shot an arrow that accurately penetrated the man's ankle. From then on, the man could no longer walk normally.

Before long, Xiao Zhan's men quickly subdued Bahai's troops, and the hilltop soon returned to its former tranquility.

"Okay, everyone can come out. It's safe now." Jiang Xue turned around and let the people hiding in the cave walk out with peace of mind.

"Your Highness... What on earth is this..." Everyone was looking at the outside world in shock, holding the silver they had received.

The siege just now was undoubtedly the most terrifying experience in their lives.

"Don't worry, the enemies have been eliminated. You can go home now." She comforted everyone with a smile, then waved her hand to signal a team of people to escort the people down the mountain.

When Xiao Zhan came down from the mountain, Jiang Xue looked at the captives who were tied together and carefully checked the number of people.

"One more is missing?" Her brows knitted tightly. With Linglong Pavilion's capabilities, there shouldn't be any fish that slipped through the net.

"Except for this person, everyone on the list is here." Xiao Zhan pointed to the absent name and said, "According to intelligence, this person has been Bahai's confidant for many years, and he did not come with him to Yecheng this time."

"Bahai obviously attaches great importance to Yecheng, but he didn't send his trusted aides here. There must be some conspiracy hidden here." She then turned to a spy and asked, "What's going on in the capital recently? I have a bad feeling."

At the same time, in the distant royal palace, a dramatic change was taking place.

Crown Prince Jiang Chen was wounded in many places, his clothes were stained with blood, and one of his arms was cut by a sharp weapon, blood was dripping slowly from his hanging hand to the ground.

He was panting, and his other hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword to support his body and prevent himself from falling.

Facing General Wu Mengchuan who broke into the palace, Jiang Chen held his sword horizontally in front of him, his eyes as sharp as a torch: "General Wu, I have always regarded you as the pillar of the Qian Kingdom, but I didn't expect you to become a rebel."

Wu Mengchuan's eyes flashed with complex emotions: "If it weren't for the excessive oppression of the royal family, this old minister would not have come to this point. Although my son has an impatient personality, he has never really hurt anyone, but Princess Changle has cruelly cut off the bloodline of our Wu family.

My family has been loyal to the Qian Kingdom for generations, but this is what happened. The late emperor once promised to keep my Wu family safe, but now it seems that it was just empty talk. In this case, I want to seek justice for my unfortunate son. "

"That's right, General Wu." Another general echoed, "You have devoted your life to the country and you don't deserve this kind of treatment. Even as an emperor, you should be punished for your mistakes. Since the princess killed the descendants of meritorious officials because of personal grudges, then the emperor, as a member of the royal family, should give General Wu an explanation."

Just as Wu Mengchuan was crying, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

Jiang Chen looked up and saw Bahai rushing in aggressively with a group of soldiers.

Bahai had a smug smile on his face and looked around, obviously very satisfied with the scene before him.

Wu Mengchuan is indeed a veteran on the battlefield, his actions are quick and precise.

His subordinates, the Wu family army, cleared out the guards in the palace in just a moment, allowing Bahai and his party to enter the palace unimpeded.

All this was thanks to Bahai's clever use of the news of Wu Yungui's death to inspire Wu Mengchuan's rebellious heart...

He just instigated a few words and Wu Mengchuan took the initiative to attack.

Bahai secretly rejoiced in his heart. Not only did this save him the trouble, but the alchemists he brought with him could also be used to fight against the 300,000 Iron Cloud Army.

"Bahai..." Jiang Chen stared at the other person with a fierce gaze, his eyes full of anger.

It was originally expected that Bahai might take the opportunity to cause chaos, but no one expected that he would hide so many troops... A rough estimate is at least 50,000.

At this moment, Jiang Chen tried to reach out for the tiger talisman behind him, but was shot by an arrow by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Wu Mengchuan.

Accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking through the air, blood splattered everywhere, which was shocking.
